About the CIC Summit
The California Immunization Coalition Summit is our state’s premier event for clinicians, healthcare professionals, and public health advocates to learn about the latest information on vaccine preventable diseases and communication strategies for maintaining and improving vaccination rates in California and beyond. The Summit is a great opportunity to engage with fellow professionals in the fields of public health, epidemiology, infectious disease, pharmacy, and school health programs, to receive updates and develop collaborations for the future.
The CIC Summit brings together a wide range of speakers and immunization partners from across CA and across the country, to share ideas, discuss issues and identify partnerships that will support the mission of improved immunization rates for all Californians.
The 2025 Summit – Building Trust: Strengthening Vaccine Confidence in Our Community will showcase speakers, expert panels, workshops, and opportunities for discussion with leading figures in immunization and healthcare advocacy throughout California. We’re excited to collaborate with colleagues and forge new partnerships to enhance vaccination rates in California.
